Since when do drug companies update labeling for medications they don't manufacture or market based on case reports?!

Turned on ACIP meeting for ten minutes and honestly had to turn it off based on how ridiculous this is.

If only hospitals stopped asking pharmacists to justify their existence since they can't bill 😭 so much opportunity.

Why a teenager’s bird-flu infection is ringing alarm bells for scientists A strain of avian influenza is showing signs of adaptation to human hosts, but there is no evidence that it can transmit from person to person.

Honestly, the thing that scares me the most about a future pandemic is how resistant the American populace will be to any sort of science-driven intervention/mitigation.

I'm also looking for a guest speaker in hospital/health system administration to share experiences, for 1/30/25. It's an informal class session to talk about your career and experiences in healthcare! #PharmSky #MedSky
